Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
Beneficiary
My brother left me as beneficiary of his TRS (Teachers Retirement) He did this on 2003 and got married in 2004. He didn't have a will. We talked about what he wanted me to do for his children. I wanted to know am I still entitled to this or is wife?

Re: Beneficiary
Check with TRS to make sure you are still the beneficiary. The designated beneficiary should receive the account. If the children are children outside the marriage, they would receive all of his separate property and 1/2 of the community property, if any.
